Where to walk in Mexico

• Mexico City (5 tours): Aztec foundations under your feet, Diego Rivera on the walls, tacos in every doorway, twenty-two million people figuring it out together. Aztec capital, Spanish capital, megacity. Built three times on the same lakebed.
• Guadalajara (2 tours): Mariachis in Plaza de los Mariachis, Orozco murals on the Hospicio Cabañas walls, carnitas smoking from every corner, the agave fields starting half an hour west. The Mexican city that gave the world mariachi and tequila.
• Guanajuato (3 tours): Painted houses stacked up the canyon walls, callejones too narrow for cars, mariachi from a balcony, silver mines tunneling under your feet. The Mexican silver mountain that bankrolled the Spanish empire for three centuries.
• Mérida (2 tours): Maya temple stones in the cathedral walls, Paseo de Montejo lined with henequén mansions, salbutes and panuchos on every corner, Yucatán heat that doesn't relent until midnight. The Yucatán capital Spain built from the Maya pyramids it dismantled.
• Oaxaca (2 tours): Cantera-stone churches in Zapotec courtyards, seven moles cooling in clay pots, mezcal smoke in every doorway, Spanish mixing with Zapotec and Mixtec in the markets. The Mexican city that never stopped being indigenous, even after the Spanish built on top of it.
• Puebla (2 tours): Talavera tile on every facade, mole poblano simmering in every kitchen, the Popocatépetl volcano smoking on the horizon, baroque domes catching the morning sun. The Mexican city that gave the world Cinco de Mayo and mole poblano.
• San Miguel de Allende (1 tour): Pink-cantera spires of the Parroquia, jacaranda blossoms over cobbled streets, rooftop bars at sunset, the smell of fresh churros in every plaza. The colonial town where Mexico's independence was first whispered into being.
